REMOTE OUTPUT MESSAGE MEANING
“TOT # # # # # LB” Total weight in pounds.
“TOT # # # # # KG” Total weight in kilograms.
“REM LOW BATTERY” Battery of interconnected weigher is becoming low.
Recharge at first opportunity.
“REM RECHARGE” Battery of interconnected weigher is too low to provide
accurate weight indication. Recharge before use.
“REM ZERO ERR” Failure of interconnected weigher to zero.
“REM OVER-RANGE” Output of interconnected weigher exceeds its capacity.
2.7 Operating Instructions
With the battery charged and the weigher ready to use, do the following:
1. Place the weigher in the weighing position.
2. Turn the weigher on by pressing the RST-OFF/ON switch to the right. The weigher display lights up
halfway and then completely across the viewing area testing each segment of the LCD. This is
followed by the “BUS ADDRESS” value that has been assigned to the weigher (See Section 2.9,
Weigher Bus Address). The bus address number is followed by the message “CALIBRATE ZERO”.
At this point the weigher self-zeros and is ready for use.
3. The weigher can be manually zeroed at any time prior to application of load. Push the ZERO button
to obtain a zero reading if any number other than zero is displayed. Figure 1 on page 4 shows the
location of the zero control.
4. Slowly move the vehicle to be weighed onto the weigher and ensure that the tire is approximately
centered on the weigher platform.
5. Read the weight on the display.
6. If a weigher fails to indicate a weight, move the vehicle off the weigher and push the “RST-OFF/ON”
switch to the left to reset the weigher. Repeat steps 4 and 5.
2.8 Local/Total Operation
Located on the front of the weigher is the communications connector labeled COMM. This connector is used
for scale interconnections for the total mode of operation. This mode of operation allows up to 30 intercon-
nected weighers to display the total weight applied to those weighers.
When connecting and operating the weighers in the total mode, the operator must turn each weigher on
separately. Once communications is established, all connected weighers automatically operate as one. For
example, if the TOTAL button is activated on one weigher, all connected weighers will change to the total
mode of operation. Similarly, if the OFF switch is pressed on any of the connected weighers, all weighers will
turn off and return to the local default mode.
